• Galaxy Digital's Oct. 22, 2026, analysis favored buying and holding bitcoin, citing a June market bottom and reduced selling pressure.
• Bitcoin traded at $81,391 on Oct. 22, 35% below its October 2025 high; regaining that peak would require a 53% rise.
• Five consecutive weekly closes above the 50-week moving average supported the recovery thesis; U.S. spot ETFs added 87,000 BTC since June's low.
• Federal debt of $40.44 trillion reinforced the analysis's currency-debasement thesis, supporting demand for bitcoin's fixed supply.
• A weekly close below $76,540 without recovery within a month would challenge the outlook, as would ETF holdings below 1,220,000 BTC.
